Mostly, III-V compound semiconductor nanowires are grown along <111>B direction. Defects, namely, stacking faults, has been found to exist for III-V nanowires grown along <111>B direction. In contrast, fewer stacking faults exist in III-V nanowires grown along <111>A direction. Growth of <111>A-oriented InP nanowires with yield up to 100% by widely utilized particle-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) approach remains challenging. Here we report site-controlled growth of <111>A-oriented InP nanowire array with 100% yield by self-catalyzed VLS mode. The <111>A-oriented nanowires contain few stacking faults compared with the nanowires grown under an exact same growth condition.
